Every number was expected about that many times after 835 draws, and they scatter around it. Warm means more than expected, cool means fewer — and a cold number arriving is exactly what cold numbers do.

Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (35, 37, 39) with the draw of 6 January 2016 — its closest relative in 835 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (30 December 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

147

The numbers add up to 147 — the 46th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 150. No two numbers side by side. 50% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

20 had not appeared for 26 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 59% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈4.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 3,525 winners, 11% fewer than the 4.0k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
